WHO KNOWS BEST:


It is our job to determine what's best for ourselves.

"I know what you need." …. "I know what you should do."
… "Now listen, this is what I think you should be working
on right now."

These are audacious statements, beliefs that take us away
from how we operate on a spiritual plane of life. Each of us
is given the ability to be able to discern and detect our own
path, on a daily basis. This is not always easy. We may have
to struggle to reach that quiet, still place.

Giving advise, making decisions for others, mapping out
their strategy, is not our job. Nor is it their job to direct us.
Even if we have a clean contract with someone to help us
– such as in a sponsorship relationship – we cannot trust
that others always know what is best for us. We are responsible
for listening to the information that comes to us. We are
responsible for asking for guidance and direction. But it is
our responsibility to sift and sort through information, and
then listen to ourselves about what is best for us. Nobody can
know that but ourselves.

A great gift we can give to others is to be able to trust in them
– that they have their own source of guidance and wisdom, that
they have the ability to discern what is best for them and the
right to find that path by making mistakes and learning.

To trust ourselves to be able to discover – through that same
imperfect process of struggle, trial, and error – is a great gift we
can give to ourselves.
